Your work rises
before you
A beacon shining
through dense fog
Sirens whisper
Light Symphony.
If you deny freedom
for one who thinks unlike you
by erasing all reference to before
through cancellation of any future
by obscuring the sky from view
allowing only perpetual cold
separation from light
prohibiting realization of human potential
what right have you to believe
yourself honourable
a leader
one deserving of respect
a worthy messenger of the Divine?
I crouch beside you
before dropping coins
into your empty cup
I question
you answer
only our eyes
speak a common language.
People
who interest me
most occupy spaces
often obscure,
much lesser known
than clouds or butterflies.
